Thank you to the team at HQ, particularly my editor, Clio Cornish. Iâm lucky to have your guidance and expertise. Also to Anna, for her brilliant design skills, yet again creating a fantastic DCI Claire Winters cover. Another canvas has been added to my wall!
To my fellow HQ Digital author buddies, (you know who you are), thanks for all the support. Special mention to Lisa Hall and Ann Troup, who completely understand the frustrations of penning that third book! It truly has been like âbirthing a demonâ, but our chats online and in person really gave me the support I needed to just get on with it. Special thanks to my friend Willow Thomas. So much has been made possible for me to live my dream because you were there from those early years and continue to be there with each book. I will always be eternally grateful to you.
Thanks to my husband Daniel, for everything you do that allows me to write full time. To my daughter (and best friend) Eden, you can never have too many books! One day I will let you read mine. My parents, Sandra and Stewart, thank you for the unwavering support and to my crazy in-laws, Jackie and Phil (with a little help from Kevin) Huge thanks for all the laughs!
